Lee Malavet – singer
"
Lee"...singing and playing career began while learning to play classical piano from the age of five and was under the tutelage of instructor Mr. Eliezar Incarte. Her professional singing career began after being discovered while performing on stage during a performance at her collegiate school, Hostos Community College. Her "Big Break" came when she later joined Ernie Acevedo and "
Conjunto Imagen" in 1996. As a pioneer "female" to sing with a "Conjunto", she became familiar and versatile with the different styles of Salsa, enhancing her feel for "
LA CLAVE", including rhythms such as "Son Montuno", "Guaguanco", "Charanga", "Salsa Gorda" and contemporary styles of today!
Her "
signature" is in her unique voice...a combination of raspy, sexy, R&B and Latin flavor that is well suited for this type of music! Her upbringing in communities like Harlem, NY, the South Bronx and the island of Puerto Rico have all contributed in helping her acquire her own musical style that is recognized and admired among hardcore New York salseros!
